Cholwell Riding Stables

Reviewed By erinc2018

My other half and I visited Cholwell stables in September 2020 as part of our trip down to Devon. It’s safe to say that our hour and a half ride on Dartmoor was the highlight of our whole trip! The staff at Cholwell Riding Stables are friendly and accommodating and the horses (Zippy and Oreo) were just fab. Upon booking you are asked for your height, weight and riding experience so that you are matched up with a suitable horse. It really seems as though all levels are catered for which is great. Thank you Cholwell, we will definitely be back! :)

We did george scrambling this August bank holiday weekend for the first time. We were a bubble of two families with the youngest being 6years old. I must say we all had a fabulous experience. Our instructors Chris and Sammy were amazing! I would certainly recommend this activity.

Words can't quite describe how fantastic our escape room experience was! From the moment you arrive right through to when you finish (or have lots of help to finish...!) you are fully immersed into the World that is created for you. We did the Templar room and it was outstanding. We were absolutely hopeless, but we had enough clues to work most of it out! It's so well crafted, the clues lead you in in sequential order and it's unbelievably creative. I've done three other escape rooms in the past and can say that this is hands down the best one I've ever done. We can't wait to come back and fail miserably to escape the other room!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

River Dart Country Park

Set in 90 acres of parkland within Dartmoor National Park, the River Dart Country Park is one of Devon’s best-loved family tourist attractions and campsites. The park is packed with activities, so get here early for a great day out, or stay longer, and explore Devon, from our award-winning campsite and holiday park!

Reviewed By JMMF89 - Exeter, United Kingdom

Having visited River Dart Country Park last year on a school trip for one day, I decided to book again for two days as there was so much more to do! It was brilliant. On the first day, half of the group did the high ropes course whilst the other half explored the glorious site. It’s beautifully kept, well signposted and well staffed such that letting them roam is no stress at all! All students (11-14) loved it; on a hot day, what could be better than jumping in and out of the cold river with your friends? Lunch consisted of generously filled sandwiches, crisps, chocolate, fruit and a bottle of water. Plus there’s a great shop filled with exciting sweets/ice creams for the kids to buy which, of course, they did. When we returned the next day, half of our group did zorbing and zip wiring while the other half did raft building. Again, a great time was had by all! The staff were very encouraging and kind to those who struggled with the heights. All in all, the CRS adventures staff, as well as the River Dart team, were so accommodating and so professional that the day was made a pleasure. They even let staff have a go at the activities, which is great! Will keep returning to this place time and again, and would definitely recommend to families and schools alike!

The Rock Centre - Tree Top Adventures

Reviewed By faith220 - Greater London, United Kingdom

Booked my two teens and husband onto an hour session in the trees on Tuesday but it had to be rearranged. Unfortunately when we turned up, we had not been booked in but the guys there were incredibly professional and most helpful with Mike saying it was fine, he was there and available so not an issue at all. They gave a sense of immense confidence along with a chilled atmosphere which made my youngest feel safe as she slowly gained confidence going round the course. The course itself was challenging without being impossible and both of the guys up there (sorry for not catching the other chap’s name) helping my kids every step of the way. Can’t praise them highly enough and all for a really reasonable cost. Thanks so much for a really fun outing.
